That's pretty cool...especially the fact that they found that rat that was supposed to have been extinct 11 million years ago? What's next, are they gonna rediscover dinosaurs alive and well somewhere??
All I gotta say though, is keep that 11.8 inch spider away from me...gives me the creeps just thinking about it...lol.

519 new plants, eh? Wonder how many possible future-medicines are lurking within these, not just mmj-related.

Alligators and crocodiles have been stuck at the same evolutionary stage for the last 100 million years or something, haven't they? That technically makes them dinosaurs.

Not neccesarily though, mosquitos also have changed little, if at all in the same amount of time, and are not dinosaurs, or anything similar.

Actually just read this article right before coming here. I thought that hot pink millipede that produces cyanide was pretty wild! Theres tens of millions of undiscovered species left, though, and a lot of crustaceans have been evolutionarily unchanged for something like 500 million years.

Hell yeah, the ocean is still HIGHLY un-explored..who knows what may be found out there once we are able to start exploring farther out and deeper...

To date, we have only explored 3% of the total water on this earth.

Think about that.

What's it called, a coelacanth was caught off the coast of Africa, that's a dinosaur, I would love to see that spider in person, though not touch it.

Wow...3% huh? I guess were moving right along in that field huh??? or not. lol.

That's cool, I don't think I ever heard of that...as far as the spider goes...I don't think I would want to be anywhere near it. I saw enough gigantic spiders in Iraq to last me a lifetime...stupid Camel Spiders...ugh.
